any change of a non-pecuniary nature, in the living conditions of the victims.” 499 Since it is not possible to assign a precise monetary equivalent to the non-pecuniary damage, this can only be compensated, in order to ensure full reparation for the victim, by the payment of a sum of money or the delivery of goods or services with a monetary value determined by the Court in reasonable application of judicial discretion and based on equity. 500 In addition, the Court reiterates the compensatory nature of damages, the nature and amount of which depend on the harm caused, so that they should not result in the enrichment or impoverishment of the victims or their heirs. 501 484. This Court has affirmed that non-pecuniary damage is evident, because it is inherent in human nature that any person whose human rights are violated endures suffering. 502 In relation to the victims in this case, the Court has declared the international responsibility of the State for various violations, depending on the specific situation of each victim. Thus, it has established the violation of the rights to nationality, to recognition of juridical personality, to a name (and owing to these violations taken as a whole, to identity), to personal liberty, to personal integrity, to judicial guarantees and protection, to protection of the family, to privacy in relation to the interference in the home, to movement and residence, to equality before the law and the prohibition of discrimination with regard to different victims, as well as in relation to the rights of the child with regard to the children in this case. 485. Based on the foregoing, the Court establishes, in equity, the following amounts for non-pecuniary damage: a) Medina Ferreras family Willian Medina Ferreras, Lilia Jean Pierre, Awilda Medina, Luis Ney Medina, and Carolina Isabel Medina (deceased): the sum of US$10,000.00 (ten thousand United States dollars) each. The amount corresponding to Carolina Isabel Medina shall be delivered, in equal parts, to the other victims from her family. b) Fils-Aimé family Jeanty Fils-Aimé (deceased), Janise Midi, Endry Fils-Aimé, Antonio Fils-Aimé and Diane Fils-Aimé: the sum of US$10,000.00 (ten thousand United States dollars) each. The amount corresponding to Jeanty Fils-Aimé shall be delivered, in equal parts, to the other victims from his family. c) Gelin family Berson Gelin and William Gelin: the sum of US$10,000.00 (ten thousand United States dollars) each. d) Sensión Family Antonio Sensión, Ana Virginia Nolasco, Ana Lidia Sensión and Reyita Antonia Sensión: the sum of US$10,000.00 (ten thousand United States dollars) each. 499 Cf.
